Heart Stealer

Qiuxue consulted Uncle Sun about her daughter's household registration and a series of legal matters involved in her plan to open a gold shop.

Uncle Sun gave a professional and detailed answer, and the uncle and niece had a very pleasant conversation.

During this period, Mrs. Sun specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes to welcome Qiu Xue back to China.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun gradually set, casting its afterglow on Xiao Tuobang's way home.

He looked dazed, as if he had lost his soul. He staggered and his eyes were confused.

When Xiao Tuobang walked into the house, a depressing atmosphere hit him in the face.

The light in the room was dim, and the curtains were half-drawn, letting in a faint light.

Xiao Tuobang walked straight to the wine cabinet and took out a few bottles of liquor to entertain the guests.

He sat on the sofa and poured liquor into his throat one glass after another.

With every sip of wine, the pain in Xiao Tuobang's heart increased.

He could not forget the scene he saw this afternoon when he was sending an important client to the airport to board a flight.

I happened to run into Qiu Xue, Ye Qingyun, and their family of three walking out of the airport, talking and laughing...

Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun was gradually swallowed by the darkness, and the silence of the night enveloped the entire room.

Xiao Tuobang's figure looked particularly lonely in the dim room.

He tried to numb himself with alcohol, hoping to forget everything by being drunk.

As the wine in the glass dwindled, his mind became clearer, and the painful images became even clearer.

Xiao Tuobang's heart felt as if it was being gnawed by millions of ants. Endless pain and confusion surged like a tide, completely drowning him.

He just couldn't understand why his beloved wife would betray him!

Why did the woman who had once made a vow to him and shared every joy and sorrow with him choose to cheat on him before they were officially divorced?

What was even more unacceptable to him was that she actually gave birth to a child!

Xiao Tuobang is a traditional man. He never thought that such an immoral thing would actually happen to him. Xiao Tuobang felt heartbroken and in agony.

He didn't know how to go on in the future. He felt that his world had completely collapsed and all the good things were gone from him.

The next morning, the sun cast rays of golden light through the window.

Xiao Tuobang was still immersed in a sweet dream when suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence.

He forced his heavy eyelids open, groped for the phone beside the bed in a daze, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello..." Xiao Tuobang's voice was a little tired.

"Tuobang! Weren't you supposed to host a high-level meeting at nine this morning? It's already been half an hour, and you're still nowhere to be seen?"

I heard my father-in-law's anxious voice from the other end of the phone, as if I could feel his anxious mood at the moment.

"Dad, I'm feeling a little unwell today. Could you please postpone the meeting?"

Xiao Tuobang's voice was hoarse and his face was a little pale.

He rubbed his temples, trying to ease the pain in his head.

The strong drink from last night made his head feel like it was hit by a heavy hammer, the pain was so severe that it almost split open. His eyes were bloodshot.

Qiu Rongyao asked with concern: "Tuobang, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Xiao Tuobang forced himself to cheer up and said, "It's just a severe headache. It might be because I drank too much last night. I just need to rest for a while. There's no need to see a doctor."

Qiu Rongyao really fell into the trap: "Okay, Tuobang, your health is more important, so you should have a good rest."

"Thanks dad."

Xiao Tuobang lied to his father-in-law, and guilt surged into his heart like a tide.

But when he thought of what Qiu Xue had done, this guilt was quickly replaced by flames of anger.

After washing up, Xiao Tuobang grabbed a coat from the closet, put it on, and hurried downstairs.

He skillfully reached out and opened the door of the car parked nearby, then quickly got in.

After sitting firmly, he fastened his seat belt without hesitation, then stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, and the car sped out like an arrow.

Xiao Tuobang drove at lightning speed and soon arrived at his destination - the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to get out and walked straight to the window for divorce procedures.

Standing in front of the window, Xiao Tuobang took a deep breath, tried to calm his slightly excited mood, and said to the staff inside,

"Hello, comrade! My wife signed the divorce agreement two and a half years ago. I came here today specifically to apply for a divorce certificate."

As he spoke, he did not forget to hand over the relevant materials he had prepared to the staff.

The staff member was very enthusiastic. He took the information handed to him by Xiao Tuobang with a smile and began to look through it carefully.

Since the divorce agreement signed by Qiu Xue was signed so long ago, it is not easy to find accurate information related to it.

The staff searched the computer system carefully for a long time, and communicated with other colleagues during the period, and finally found some clues.

But the result was not as expected. The staff member looked up at Xiao Tuobang with a slightly apologetic look and said slowly, "I'm so sorry, sir.

After our verification, your wife has declared the divorce agreement she previously signed invalid. So, could you please go back and sign a new divorce agreement with your wife first, and then come here to apply for a divorce certificate?

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Tuobang was stunned. He widened his eyes in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

After being stunned for a moment, he came to his senses, shook his head quickly, and eagerly asked the staff to help check it again carefully.

The staff member checked again and said with certainty, "Sir, after checking, your wife's private lawyer came and took the divorce agreement away yesterday, so we can't help you with the divorce certificate."

Xiao Tuobang walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau in frustration. He regretted that when Qiu Xue signed the divorce agreement, he did not come to apply for a divorce certificate in time, which brought him so much trouble now.

Xiao Tuobang looked up at the sky. It was so gloomy that it seemed as if it was suffocating him.

The air was filled with a damp smell, which made him feel even more depressed.

On the streets, people were walking hurriedly, seemingly all having their own destinations.

Only he, like a lost soul, didn't know where to go.

Xiao Tuobang walked slowly on the bustling street. The noisy sounds around him seemed to be automatically blocked out by him, leaving only the sadness and pain deep in his heart constantly eroding his soul.

His eyes were empty and his body was stiff. He walked like a zombie, completely immersed in his own world and completely isolated from the outside world.
